Sad and disgusted
It is staggering to me that half of the country chose a traitorous, fascistic, child-raping con-man to be president again (especially after he failed the first time around).
I worried about Kamala's electability from the beginning, not because of her suitability for the job (I think she would have made a terrific president) but because the nexus of being both black and female seemed too risky. I still hoped she'd be elected until the end, but as in 2016, we got a surprise glimpse of how racist and sexist our country is.
I dread the destruction of economic policies and safety-net programs, and the additional damage to the Supreme Court. And I weep for Ukraine.
There is so much more I could say, but I haven't got the strength nor the stomach for it right now.
